Format:Audio CD
We all know the music and the celebration in 1990. A clear 4 stars.
I am writing to correct some apparent misunderstandings evident from the first review and three comments to it. This SACD is actually a hybrid, which is proved by a sticker attached to the front cover. Perhaps the first reviewer's sticker fell off; the back cover implies hybrid in that CD Audio is named as an option. Anyway, the comments concluded that the first reviewer could not read. That may well not be true.
My copy plays on a standard cd player, but only after pressing the play button a few or five or six times and waiting up to ten seconds. I am not used to this inability of hybrids to track; maybe some kind of programmming deviation arose during the production process.

Bought this, but it won't play in a standard cd player or off of a computer. Apparently, it's a super audio cd (SACD) which means you need a special machine to play it on. While I'm sure it would be great if you had such a machine, I think that Sony should make this a bit clearer before selling it to an unsuspecting public. So avoid this unless you're sure you have something that will play it!

Awesome concert
14 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
I like this concert. I think Roger Waters did a really good job of getting a good support group for this show. It's a shame that he couldn't get the support group that belongs in this concert - the other members of Pink Floyd. It's interesting that the two Germanies could unite, but Pink Floyd couldn't.
As I said, I liked the people that he did get. The Scorpions for In the Flesh, Sinead O' Conner for Mother and others. It is interesting that Roger Waters sounded old for this concert and not for In The Flesh.
I am happy they released this one in SACD. Now if they would release the others.

Is viewing better than just listening????
6 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
The music content of this SACD is excellent. However, the audio although very good, is presented essentially in concert mode. I would therefore suggest that viewing the concert on DVD (if available) would probably be a greater experience than just listening to the cd. That does not detract from the 'listenability' of this quality SACD.

Good Concert but not a good mix
13 Aug 2007
Format:Audio CD
so this is a fairly good concert, i would rate the actual performance about a 4 out of 5 but the surround sound mix for this SACD is just poor. The left and right channels get most of the sound while the rear channels get the shouting of the audiance and not much else. The second problem was that the bass is just missing. usually i have to turn my active 150 watt subwoofer only to about 4/5 to listen to SACDs, because they usually have lower bass than normal CDs but now i had to turn it all the way up, and it still sounded shallow, meaning no deep bass. I would have tried the normal stereo CD layer....if there was one. All my other SACDs have STEREO and SACD layers (HYBRID SACDS). They are: Dark Side of the Moon - perfect mix by the way, Brothers in Arms, and Slowhand. So I would have prefered this to be a Hybrd but, now it mostly gathers dust. Makes me sad to see how it just sits there. Still, a good concert.
